[NO BUG] No RWS Mode for RDI Radar

[enigma6584]

I've recently gotten back into the Mirage-2000C.  Been flying it, creating missions for it etc.  Love this little module.  I've noticed something the past couple of weeks.

 

There is No RWS Mode operating for the RDI radar.  I'm only using Stable Release version of DCS, NOT Open Beta.  

 

For the past week, I've consulted Chuck's Guide to the Mirage, I've read through the official manual from RazBam on this aircraft and both indicate I should have a RWS mode for the RDI radar yet I only get either PID or PIC.  I've combed through the bug reports here in the forums yet no one seems to have raised this issue.

 

Am I missing something here?  Because with everything I've read from both Chuck's Guide and the RazBam manual, there should be a RWS mode for the RDI radar when I do not have any target bugged.  When I don't have any target bugged, I always get the PID indication.  When I bug a target, it stays at the PID indication.  When I bug the target again, I then get the PIC mode.

 

Can anyone else using DCS Stable Release confirm this issue?  Cheers.

In fact, the radar screen has been partially corrected.

 

When you are in search mode, the PID/ PIC indication tells you in what mode you will lock the target.

That PID/ PIC indication should disappear once the contact is locked because the VTB symbols should make it obvious what is the current mode between PID and PIC.

But that's a a minor bug and you do have "RWS", it's just the documentation lagging behind update flow 

 

See a screenshot of TV report: real PID mode, and search mode picture (book scan).

Ah...thank you for the clarification..  I thought maybe I was losing my mind and/or my reading skills were sub-par.

@jojoWas this change documented anywhere at all? Haven't seen info on it yet... I'll like to update my Mirage doc if that's the case.

I’m not blaming you. 

I just checked the manual installed in the game, and it seems it’s outdated too. So it’s up to you if you want to take up the challenge...

Alright then... if nobody wants to do it... then I will.
